Torre del Retiro, Residential tower in Retiro district, Madrid, Spain.
Torre del Retiro is a residential building located on Avenida Menéndez Pelayo, just steps away from Retiro Park. It features clean geometric lines and functional design typical of the modernist residential architecture from that era.
The building was completed in 1969 during Spain's postwar modernization period following the Civil War. Luis Gutiérrez Soto designed it as part of his extensive work reshaping Madrid's urban landscape in the decades after conflict.
The structure represents a transition in Spanish architecture from traditional to modern designs, marking changes in Madrid's urban development during the 1960s.
The building sits next to the large park area and is easily accessible on foot from many directions. The neighborhood around it has good transport connections and is surrounded by shops and dining options.
Its architect Luis Gutiérrez Soto was one of Madrid's most prolific builders, shaping the city over several decades with his work. This project represents just one of his numerous contributions that remain visible throughout the urban landscape today.
